Alumni FAQs

Who is supporting St. Thomas Aquinas College?

Support for St. Thomas Aquinas comes from four main sources, Alumni, Friends of the College, Corporations and Foundations. Your continued support of STAC is more important than ever so that students can continue to receive a premier education at one of the leading Colleges for the study of liberal arts and sciences.

What is the heritage annual Fund?

The Heritage Annual Fund (formerly the STAC Fund), or the College's general fund, supports everything from academic and athletic scholarships to the maintenance of the physical grounds/buildings. And while the list of items supported by the Heritage Annual Fund is huge, please know this - the lasting effects of your support of the Heritage Annual Fund are immeasurable.

Today, St. Thomas students study in state-of-the-art classrooms and science laboratories; they use computer and language labs that offer the latest technology and gamely compete in NCAA Division II sports programs. Moreover, STAC continues to be listed nationally among the leading colleges for the study of liberal arts and sciences.

When the College's Advancement Office applies for a grant from a foundation or corporation, the first question they ask is, "How much have the College's Alumni donated?" Support from alumni not only aids the institution on a primary level, it also impresses upon outside "investors" that our Alumni are proud of the diploma that hangs on their wall and will remain supportive. Any donation, no matter what the amount, helps our students and strengthens the College's foundation. We thank you for your ongoing support!

Why do I get so much mail from the College?

There is a lot going on at STAC, and we want to make sure we send you information on all the latest news and events, so you are able to partake in events that most interest you.

Does STAC help Alumni who need career advice and/or employment resources?

Just as we reach out to Alumni for support, we want to let you know that STAC is here for you too. The Office of Counseling and Career Services is available to Alumni who may need a contact in their industry or who are considering a career change and need connections and advice on how to break into a new industry. The Career Services office can also help Alumni with negotiating skills, interviewing techniques, and/or resume building.

How can I be more involved with STAC?
